The military always seem to be a good source of stories. Add to this the maritime environment, worldwide locations, complicated equipment operated in a small space or in a harsh environment, great characters within a strongly bonded fraternity and naval tradition and you have a recipe for some cracking tales. Author Steve Bond has gathered dits (tales) from throughout the veterans and current serving Royal Navy and Fleet Air Arm. This is a terrific read for anyone interested in British sea based aviation.

In the author's words...

'The RAF's continuing role in the projection of air power in the defence of the United Kingdom and its overseas interests since the end of the Second World War is well known. However, the same cannot always be said about the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm (FAA), in part due to the ten-year gap between the retirement of the Harrier and the arrival of the F-35B and the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers. Flying high performance aircraft off a carrier demands not only a high level of skill, but also a considerable amount of courage and determination, not least to land back on a very small piece of real estate bobbing about in a rough sea, often at night, with no possibility of diversion. The nature of these operations has meant that the accident rate and aircrew losses were very high - and accepted as part of the job. With the arrival of the Queen Elizabeth and the Prince of Wales, it is time to redress the balance and bring the FAA's extraordinary story to the audience it so richly deserves through the words of those air and ground crews who have been part of it since 1945. What emerges is an amazing close-knit esprit de corps, often accompanied by a long-standing and still simmering rivalry between the RAF and the Royal Navy over who should project air power overseas. Enormous respect is shown by the aviators and ships' senior officers for the aircraft handlers and maintainers, who work long hours in a highly dangerous environment on the flight deck. This first volume looks chronologically at every aircraft type flown in an air defence role since 1945. Involvement in conflicts including Korea, Suez, the Falklands, Bosnia and elsewhere is included, and perforce the cost in human lives, even in everyday operations, frequently emerges. Balancing this are the everyday grind, the good times, the humour, the 'runs ashore' and the sense of pride in a job well done. All delivered in the words of the men themselves.'

One tends to think of promotional brochures as being associated with a new car or double glazing rather than (what was) a state of the art warplane.

However, we have obtained a rare original Hawker Aircraft Ltd brochure extolling the capabilities of the Sea Fury from which we have made faithful reproductions. It gives details of the specifications, variants, usage and performance of this great aircraft as it was promoted to the public and military customers across the globe in the 1950's.

If you're a fan of this superb aircraft, this will tell you all you need to know and is an essential addition to any collection.

20 are available that have been signed by Sea Fury Pilot Brian Ellis who, while flying a Sea Fury, shot down a MiG15 jet during the Korean War..

For centuries clocks were vital to the survival of any ocean going ship. If you didn't know the exact time, you couldn't calculate your position. You were lost. It seems very appropriate therefore, to present some stunning clocks which incorporate rare components from Fleet Air Arm aircraft.

These are handmade and designed to be a stylish marriage of modern aero-engineering, the natural beauty of wood and the centuries old elegance of a skeleton clock

We will be introducing a number of dramatic designs utilising different components in aesthetically pleasing and practical ways.

These items are handmade to order and the wood is carefully chosen for the beauty of its grain. DESIGNS AND WOODS MAY VARY , PARTICULARLY WITH THE DESK CLOCK, TO ALLOW THE WOOD TO BE SHOWN TO ITS BEST ADVANTAGE. EACH PIECE IS UNIQUE.

Large wall clocks include elements from the brake unit of a de Havilland Sea Vixen. The retaining rings on desk and smaller wall clocks are from its undercarriage.

There may be a short delay in despatch.

Wood responds adversely to rapid changes in temperature and/or humidity. We strongly recommend placing these items out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources like radiators etc.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we’d like to introduce you to ex-matelot, now author, Paul White.

Paul White walked through the gates of HMS Raleigh in 1973 and never looked back.

During a long career, including time on HMS Tiger where he came to know the Sea King and Lynx pilots and crews of 826 NAS (and their passion for eggy bacon buttys when night flying), Paul became imbued with the traditions Royal Navy. Who better to write books about the food, tales and vernacular of the Senior Service?

He now lives on the outskirts of a quiet Yorkshire market town but is often away traveling - the wanderlust he acquired in the Royal Navy never left him.

Apart from his fictional books, Paul's focus is on recording Royal Naval social history, capturing the true and honest essence of naval life told by those who lived it.

The result is a collection of books Paul refers to as his 'Blue Books', including 'The Pussers Cook Book', 'Jack's Dits' and 'The Andrew, Jack & Jenny.'

Now let Paul introduce you to his books

THE PUSSERS COOKBOOK (revised and updated)

The Pussers Cook Book contains many of the most popular and loved traditional dishes served in the Royal Navy’s Galleys from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s.

Some of these dishes are still being served on the ships and shore bases of today's modern navy, although some have been slightly altered and others given, let's say, more politically correct names.

Woven between the recipes in this book are true facts and tidbits about the food, the cooks and general life aboard ship.

Along with the recipes, this book aims to preserve a segment of British history, Royal Navy social history, which is fading all too quickly and would otherwise be lost in the grey sea-mists of oblivion.

THE ANDREW, JACK & JENNY

Unlike the civilian nicknames we get labelled with, those our classmates called us at school, the names various work colleagues may apply to us from time to time or the ones our siblings find amusing, a military nickname has greater significance, it holds a value only fully comprehended by our contemporaries.

Arguably, the Royal Navy has the most entrenched tradition among the services for bestowing nicknames, names not only for each sailor but for places, equipment and actions.

This book, The Andrew, Jack & Jenny, focuses primarily on the names given to each skin and essence the moment they became a matelot.

Royal Naval nicknames are not chosen by the recipient, they are bestowed, irrevocably, by custom and tradition. Yet, each sailor soon becomes attached to their 'new' name, which grows into a large part of their identity, even influencing their character. It soon becomes the name which is spoken with pride in answer to the question "Who are you?"

JACKS DITS

With hundreds of men, tons of military paraphernalia, complicated machinery, technological equipment, weaponry, stores and various other forms of kit, you can be assured not every day in the Royal Navy was straightforward and undemanding.

Equipment failed. People made mistakes. Accidents and mishaps occurred. Personalities and characters clashed.

Add to this mix the activities of matelots on a 'run ashore' in far-flung, unsavoury and questionable seaports. Include beer, spirits, wine, women and song into the equation and the resulting concoction is a wonderful hothouse for the creation of imaginative narrative.

The goings-on of Sailors, both aboard and ashore, created astonishing accounts of events to be told at stand easy or after a watch; when the exaggerated telling's of the day's happenings or those of last night's run ashore, would be shared in the mess squares of Royal Navy ships and shore bases throughout the world.

This book is not one which simply and only harks back in nostalgic fashion to the past, Jack's Dits is an authentic validation, a historical record of Royal Naval Social History; one told by the voices of those who served, those who were there. It is a true and genuine recording of life during the Royal Navy's heydays, the late 1950s through to the earlier part of the 1980s.

One I was proud to be part of.

Retired veteran pilot Lieutenant Commander John Dixon, supported by the manufacturer, Navy Wings and a cohort of other veterans, has undertaken a veritable crusade and, despite significant impediments along the way, Lt Cdr Dixon has succeeded in producing a superb range of Fleet Air Arm Wings. This has been a labour of love.

In John's own words...

'Chatting to a bunch of Fleet Air Arm veterans after a Remembrance Day parade three years ago, it was commented on that, unlike almost every military branch of any other service, we had no badge or emblem to proudly identify us as to who we were when dressed in civilian attire. Yes we could have worn the embroidered wings brooches we were issued with, but over the years there have been many subtle (and some not so subtle) differences in designs and sizes and it was thought they could be bettered.

Now, here on the Navy Wings Store website, is the result of deliberation with the MOD and over 400 members of the FAAOA and Aircrewman's Associations.

The Pilots, Observers and Aircrewman wings have been optimised for presentation and are sized to be worn on the left breast over full size and miniature medals.

I hope you like them and wear them with pride. You have earned them.'

Lt Cdr John Dixon.

All three sizes are MOD approved, finished in 9ct gold plate and secured by butterfly clasps. The miniature size is offered with an optional safety pin clasp, ideal as a 'sweetheart' brooch.

Centuries of operating in a semi-closed and unique society has led the Senior Service to evolve its own language. The enormous scale and longevity of our Royal Navy inevitably led to this language spilling out of military confines and into general parlance. Now there are innumerable phrases in common use everyday where the original meaning and origin are lost to those who use them.

A fascinating book for anyone interested in the either the Royal Navy or the development of our mother tongue. Read it and be amused, surprised and fascinated.

The story of the war in the far east and the part played by the British Pacific Fleet, the largest fleet ever assembled by the Royal Navy, is not as well known as it should be. For example, few are aware that Fleet Air Arm battle honours include Okinawa and Japan. The intention of the vast combined British and American fleets was to starve Japan of food and resources and destroy their military capability. This was to be achieved by the decimation of the Japanese air force, air raids on infrastructure, production facilities and military targets and naval and air attacks on coastal defences. In those final few months tens of thousands of sorties were flown and coastal cities were pummelled by a fleet including up to ten battleships.

If you have a passion for the Sea Harrier or just fancy something elegant combined with heritage, then this is for you.

This dramatic piece is a made from a highly polished High Pressure Turbine Rotor Blade from the Pegasus engine of a Sea Harrier, mounted on a beautifully grained, hand turned piece of wood..

At an overall height of c.41.5cm it's big enough to make a bold statement.

Ideal for a desk, mantlepiece or shelf, this is an opportunity to own a rare and vital part of a legendary British icon and help keep naval heritage aircraft flying.

NB These are individually handmade. The wood may vary from that illustrated.

The Royal Navy saw the potential of taking aircraft to sea just 6 years after man's first controlled powered flight. Ultimately, the aircraft carrier became a game changer in how wars were fought and won and often not just at sea. Dave Morris' fascinating book picks out so many things to illustrate how flying from ships at sea involves, and conquers, a completely different set of challenges to those faced by land based aircraft.. Excellent read.

In 1918 Britain was pre-eminent in the technology and tactics of deploying aircraft at sea. That lead was lost to Japan and the USA during the inter-war years as, subject to the will of the RAF, meagre resources were committed elsewhere. Where we hadn't languished during those wilderness years was in carrier strike doctrine. After regaining control of its flying assets in 1937, the Royal Navy had so much to prepare and so little time.

A fascinating insight into a service doing the best with the least for almost two decades and yet a service that acquitted itself with distinction from the first day of WWII. Much is seen through the eyes of distinguished pilot Lt WP Lucy DSO RN.

Customer Reviews

Described by one pilot as looking like the jaws of hell, it is difficult to imagine what it was like as tiny, fragile Swordfish threaded themselves through the tracer and AA fire erupting from 100's of guns of all calibres. The number of Italian rounds fired equated to around 5000/aircraft!

Designer David Adams has created 2 designs that vividly capture the chaotic scene as Swordfish press home their attacks in near darkness punctuated by tracer and the light from explosions.

'Torpedo hit' depicts the moment when a torpedo explodes against an Italian warship and a Swordfish makes good her escape through a hail of fire and 'Jaws of hell' is a panoramic view.

Both designs are available on mugs and table mats and all include the squadron numbers, HMS Illustrious, date and the Taranto 80 logo.

Mugs are dishwasher and microwave proof - 300ml

The table mats have a tough gloss melamine surface and a cork backing.

NB The mugs and cutlery in the table mat images are purely to illustrate a possible place setting. Table mats are not supplied with either.

Ideal for any aviation enthusiast. These unique bookends feature genuine aircraft gauges from the cockpit of any of a number of classic aircraft of the 60's and 70's.

It isn't always possible to be specific because many components were used in more than one aircraft type and some were alternatives to the standard type factory fitted.

Sold in pairs and made from English oak or Ash, these beautiful handmade items are treated with a wax and oil finish to bring out the pattern of the grain and protect the wood.

Approx 19cm high x 20cm wide

N.B. The appearance may vary from the illustration in terms of the markings/colour of the wood and the type and number of gauges.

These are made to order, so there may be a delay in shipping.

These can be a national postal or courier service or independent commercial courier service. For your security, the majority of overseas orders are sent by a Tracked and Signed method.

The shipping cost will be clearly indicated during the purchase process. The specific cost of your shipment will be added as you go through checkout. It’s only at that point that the system knows the total weight of your order and can calculate a shipping cost.

Cdr Nathan Gray was the Fleet Air Arm Senior Test Pilot and the first to both land an F-35B on HMS Queen Elizabeth and to use her ski jump.

Commander Gray has 22 years flying experience, including 10 years on the Harrier, the formidable predecessor to the F-35. He has over 2500 flying hours logged on 40+ aircraft types.

Each model is supplied with an exclusive certificate personally signed by Commander Nathan Gray. This is exclusive to Navy Wings and not available anywhere else.

The F-35B is a staggering technical achievement by any measure and gives the Fleet Air Arm world class capability.

This quality diecast 1/72 model captures all the exact livery details of the aircraft that Cdr Gray flew during trials and when landing on HMS Queen Elizabeth (with variable configurations of munitions and landing gear) and is very much a collector's item rather than a toy.

Includes a FREE copy of Lewis Gaylard's book - VSTOL at Sea.

True 1/72 scale.

Professionally painted.

Great attention to detail.

All markings are Tampoed (pad applied).

Option to display the model on a stand that is provided.
